HD 201298 (HR 8090) is a solitary star located in the northern constellation Equuleus just next to 3 Equulei It has an apparent magnitude of 6.14, [1] making it barely visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is situated at a distance of 1,140 light years [2] but is drifting away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 20  km/s . [6]

HD 201298 has a stellar classification of M0 III, indicating that it is ageing M-type star [4] that is probably on the red giant branch. [3] As a result, it has expanded to 117 times the Sun's girth. [8] At present it has 1.83 times the mass of the Sun [8] and shines with a luminosity of 1,648  L☉ from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,732 K, [9] which gives it an orange glow. HD 201298 spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity of 4.5±1  km/s , [11] slightly faster than most giants.
